Assisted Living Facility #13131
Walton Place is a 98-bed for-profit assisted living facility located in Tarpon Springs, Florida, operated by Tarpon Springs Assisted Living At Walton Place LLC and managed by administrator Kenneth Ruthinoski. Situated in a car-dependent suburban area of Pinellas County with a Walk Score of 23, the campus sits close to local medical offices and community conveniences. The residential community focuses on routine personal care and memory care programming, specifically accommodating individuals utilizing public assistance options.
State regulatory archives kept by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration reflect 44 total deficiencies across 39 inspection cycles over a nine-year period. This tracks out to an annual average of 3.9 citations, which performs 15% better than the Florida state baseline. Compliance data shows a distinct upward trend from 2022 onward; multiple consecutive complaint audits and routine checks resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero through July 2024, followed by a single minor citation regarding resident care rights and facility procedures during the most recent inspection in July 2025. While older 2018 records highlighted recurring issues with over-the-counter handling, labeling, and medication management assistance, the facility cleared those citations under standard correction plans, with its full fiscal history noting just two administrative fines totaling $4,500 and no severe enforcement bans.
The day-to-day routine runs on a 24-hour staffing model that implements individualized care plans and dietician-planned meals. On-site amenities provide private and companion room layouts, included utilities and cable, wireless internet, a beauty salon, and an on-site pharmacy service. For recreational engagement, the campus hosts regular film screenings, dancing, exercise sessions, arts and crafts, board games, gardening, music programs, and coordinated shopping trips. Financial setups are configured to accept Medicaid and Veteran Affairs benefits alongside traditional payment options.
Prospective residents who hold veteran benefits or qualify for state Medicaid waivers can utilize this facility’s specialized financial tracks to secure long-term residential care. The 98-bed environment is tailored for older adults who require managed personal care or memory support but prefer a suburban community setting with a strong compliance record over the last four years.
